Features:

Fast Switching Phosphor The use of fast switching phosphors has significantly reduced afterglow duration and reproduced clear 3D and 2D images. Fast switching phosphors are used in all full HD models.

Improved Pre-discharge & Filter Minimizing pre-discharge has made it possible to produce crisp blacks with minimal graying. Improving the filter shape has suppressed glare and reduced internal reflections in the front glass panel. The contrast in bright ambient light has been raised to enable rich, more robust blacks.

Improvement in Luminous Efficiency Achieves Low Power Consumption Everything - from the materials and panel structure to the drive method - has been re-engineered. These improvements are a result of the new phosphor and new electrode (fish bone) structure.

FULL HD 3D Infuses Reality into Every Image Frame Sequential Technology - Panasonic uses Full-HD Frame Sequential technology to create its 3D images. Images recorded in 1920 x 1080 pixels for both the right-eye and the left-eye alternately flash on the screen at the ultra-high rate of 120 frames per second. When you view the screen through active-shutter glasses that open and close each lens in sync with the alternating images, you see breathtaking FULL HD 3D pictures with stunning power and realism.

Easily Convert 2D Images into 3D 2D-3D Conversion - Unique Panasonic technology converts 2D images into high-quality 3D images in real-time. The technology generates a detailed depth effect for each type of image, so the 3D effect is natural and realistic. Use VIERA HDTV to enjoy Blu-ray movies, DVD movies and even ordinary TV broadcasts in 3D. The Super Resolution function allows images that were converted from 2D to 3D to be displayed in sharp, clear 3D while minimizing double image. 3D images with crisp contours are also produced from 3D broadcasts using the side-by-side method.
*When a 2D source is converted to 3D, the 3D effect is slightly less pronounced than with 3D sources.

Crisp, Clear Moving Pictures 600Hz Sub-field Drive - Panasonic uses its own unique image-analysis technology. This technology converts the motion in each scene into data, and each frame is virtually displayed in a shorter length of time than in previous 600Hz systems, to create crisp images.
*When using Cinema mode.

Even Faster Images Are More Precise Full-HD Resolution Speed of 1,200 pps - Full-HD Resolution Speed, the new standard for moving picture measurement announced by the Advanced PDP Development Center Corporation (APDC), indicates the maximum moving picture speed that can be enjoyed with full-HD resolution. VIERA HDTV's achieved 1,200 pps (pixels per second) under this new standard. Even images that scroll left or right at the extremely high speed of 1,200 pps are able to be correctly displayed at the maximum resolution of 1,080 lines.

Deep Blacks in Bright Rooms Infinite Black 2 - In the new VIERA HDTVs models, contrast in brightly lit locations has been improved. Enhancements to the panel and cells help reproduce images with smooth, natural gradation and deep, rich blacks even when viewed in bright surroundings. In movies, the true, deep blacks faithfully convey the intent of the filmmakers, adding power and realism to the viewing experience.

VIERA Connects You to a New World VIERA Connect - The exciting world of cloud based Internet service (Internet Protocol Television, or IPTV), is available for the entire family to enjoy. Now you can use an intuitive remote control while relaxing in your living room having a variety of internet content at your fingertips.

Home Network Convenience DLNA / Wi-Fi Ready -
Connect a DLNA-compatible VIERA and DLNA-compatible AV equipment to your home
network, and you can watch movies, listen to music, and view photos from any
room in the house. VIERA's Wi-Fi capability gives you even more layout flexibility.

Memories Are Even More Powerful in 3D 3D Image Viewer - It's easy to view 3D photos and movies you shot yourself on the big VIERA HDTV screen. After shooting with your 3D-compatible camera or camcorder, simply insert the SD card into the slot on a 3D-compatible VIERA HDTV. The viewing is incredible, with images so realistic it feels as though you're right back in the moment. You'll find that lifes special moments are even more memorable when you preserve them in 3D.

Get Your Game Face On Game Mode -
Games are much more fun when there's no lag in operation. VIERA HDTV's automatically choose settings that provide the optimal image, so you get super-fast response with virtually no delays. Even dark scenes with delicately rendered details are beautiful and easy to see.

One Remote Controls Them All Viera Link -
VIERA Link interlinks the operation of a variety of compatible AV devices, so you can operate them all using only the VIERA HDTV remote control. Setup is easy, simply connect the compatible devices to each other via HDMI cables.

Years of Beautiful Images Years of Beautiful Images -
One important way consumers can protect the environment is by choosing high-quality
products and taking care of them so they last for a long time. A high-quality
VIERA HDTV can help. Thanks to a newly designed phosphor process and rear
panel process, our plasma panels last for up to 100,000 hours before the brightness
decreases by half. That's more than 30 years of viewing 8 hours a day.

Environment-Friendly Panel Mercury and Lead Free Plasma Display Panel -
Mercury and Lead Free Plasma Display Panel Panasonic is committed to making
our products more friendly to the environment. In line with this commitment,
all VIERA plasma display panels are free of both lead and mercury. This reduces
impact on the environment years down the road when the TV is recycled or retired
from use.

Easy Access to Helpful Functions VIERA Tools -
The VIERA Tools user interface makes it easy to access and understand key
functions. Simply press a function button, and an explanation appears on the
screen. Keep the button pressed to activate the function immediately.

I have this product for a few months and im very happy with it, i really dont know why people say its not good this is an excellent tv the 3D is awesome and the picture quality is very good too just the sound is a little cheap but if you have the proper gear you can enjoy this tv the way it meant to be

The TV is very nice and Viera connect system is a pretty nice features. I have had the TV for a couple of weeks and it works fine. I am installing all the system components in a closet behind the TV. I went to look for the remote codes for the TV and guess what, there was not a code in the manual so I contacted Panasonic via live chat and they told me this TV does not support universal remotes. I asked again why they would not share the code and they would only say that this TV would not support universal remotes and has no code. The last thing is the Wifi on the TV is very week, I am sitting here typing on my laptop with 4 of 5 bars but the TV is unable to get a signal, even with moving their dangle around. So now I have a remote to turn the Panasonic on and off and to switch ports and a remote to run the set to box, sound system and DVD player. If you want a clean look with only the TV on the wall be aware that you will have to use 2 remotes to operate your system.

I was looking for glasses for my 60 inch ST30 3D Plasma and ran across the ratings so I had to write one in defense of this TV. This is a great TV and you absolutely cannot beat it - with one caveat, you mush customize the picture settings. I did a little research on what settings to use (there are forums out there) and voila! a perfectly clear and bright picture. I would say that it is well worth saving over 1000 bucks. With minimal effort this TV looks fabulous. Regarding the Viera Link, I have had no problems with mine at all, it works perfectly. Of course I upgraded the TV firmware on my first network connection. In sum I have a great plasma TV, no blur, great refresh rate, and 3D to boot. I would recommend this TV to anyone that is up to taking 10 minutes to tweak it to their liking. And it works great with my Panasonic Surround sound - 1 remote!

After viewing the "S" series 50" for three months, decided to go bigger. Not saying that the "S" was bad, it was in fact the best tv I ever had. But got a good deal on this, even though I wasn't looking at this size. The screen is enormous, people look almost lifelike, could even see the different lengths of grass on the golf tournament I watched. It was so easy to set up, decided on the vivid setting for most viewing, but switch to cinema for blu-ray viewing. Had a liitle trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, so hooked up a LAN line switch does the job. The picture quality between the two series can't be compared, the difference was that great. The sound is better but still not what I exspect.

Panasonic has really raised the bar, what an incredible t.v.! The picture is breathtaking and when watching it with a Blu-ray disc it's beyond what I thought possible for an in home set. We'll definitely be watching more movies at home. The component setup was easy and the software was also fairly easy to navigate. Don't skimp on the HDMI cables. So far, great experience.

I must say that this TV had the easiest and fastest setup I have ever seen on a TV. The picture quality is fantastic and the set itself looks great in my living room. You will need a sound bar or home theater set up because the built in speakers are very small and do not sound good. No S video input but just about everything else under the sun is available. I am very happy with the picture quality of this set and the ease of setup.
